Roll on Christmas 2019
With the support and recognition the project is now receiving across the miniature world, the team is confident that the doll’s house will be fully decorated and furnished for the original proposed completion date of Christmas 2019.
Once complete, the doll's house will be placed on display in the Picture Room. Michelle Leake, House and Collections Manager at Upton House, said: “We’re hoping this new project will add to the sense of belonging that the act of making creates for visitors, volunteers and staff alike.”
The Upton House volunteer doll’s house co-ordinators are on hand to offer any advice to visitors looking to make items, but unsure how to go about it. Volunteers can email for the list of items needed and to register that they will be making a piece, which will avoid duplication.
